[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a marriage counselor and I have been asked in sessions to help create a job list, which, to your point OP, I refused to do.

Generally I find that when it has devolved into constant bickering about chores and it’s really about scorekeeping and resentment. There is no job list that will deal with that task.   There are many things that we do for our partners that cannot be placed on a list. Do you smile when they walk into the room and ask them how their day is? Do you put aside the phone during dinner and ask your partner questions?  Do you tell her she looks beautiful or compliment his new haircut? That’s what a relationship is, it’s about connecting. When couples aren’t connecting on that level that’s when they become resentful and scorekeeping of chores. You have to manage the issues in the relationship which are the root. [/quote]

Precisely beautifully said! It is just that many people do not have that in them. In others it seems to die by having to pull the weight of the other. [/quote]
